One of the highlights of the Candlelight Processional is its lineup of celebrity narrators, who lend their voices and presence to the performance, making each night uniquely special. This year’s lineup includes fan favorites like Josh Gad, Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris, and Gloria Estefan, along with exciting newcomers such as Nico Santos and Tituss Burgess. As each narrator brings their own warmth and personality to the story, the mass choir, made up of Disney cast members and young singers, and the renowned Voices of Liberty provide soaring harmonies that make this performance a feast for the ears. A 50-piece orchestra and herald trumpets add depth and grandeur, making the entire event a sensory experience unlike any other.
